Deuterostome

/ˈdutərəˌstoʊm/ noun

Definition

An animal in which the anus develops from the first opening (blastopore) formed during embryonic development, while the mouth forms secondarily. This group includes vertebrates, echinoderms, and some other phyla.

Etymology

From Greek 'deuteros' (second) and 'stoma' (mouth), literally meaning 'second mouth.' The term was coined in the early 20th century by German embryologist Karl Grobben based on observations of embryonic development patterns.

Kelly Says

The deuterostome vs. protostome split represents one of the most fundamental divisions in the animal kingdom, separating animals that have been evolving independently for over 500 million years! This difference in early development reflects completely different evolutionary strategies.
